Chapter 5

Those couple of weeks were nice because Jack didn't leave. But Jack knew that he couldn't stay with them forever. His crew would get worried if he didn't get back to the Pearl,and quick. But he also knew that his daughter didn't want him to leave,but he knew that he had no choice.

He knew that he didn't want to be sent back to the gallows,but the Black Pearl was his home. He had to tell Nicole,whether she was going to argue with him or not. He was the captain of the Black Pearl,but more importantly,he was a pirate.

"No! You can't leave!"Nicole said after Jack told her.

"Listen Nicole,I am your father. But I am a pirate."

"So...you really want to die."

"That is not up to you whether I die or not."

"But...you promised..."

"I promised you nothing. I told you that I would stay for the time being. But I am a pirate."

"You really don't have a heart...do you?!" She then stormed off,not giving Jack a chance to reply.

He then turned to Will. "What am I going to do Will?"

"Oh,so now you're going to take my advice?"

"Well,you're her husband."

"You're her father Jack. This is between you and her. I'm sorry,but I can't help you this time."

"But she has to understand Will."

"I told you I'm not getting involved Jack. I really cannot help you,"and he left the room.

Without a moments hesitation Jack left the house,knewing that he wasn't going to come back.

"Will? Are you here?"Nicole asked she came downstairs. She found him sitting on the chair in the living room. "Oh,there you are."

"He's gone Nicole."

"What?"

"I'm sorry,but he's gone. And he's not coming back. You have to realize that he is a pirate."

She nodded. "I know. I'm not going after him."

"Are you sure?"

"Will,he is a pirate after all."

"Nicole,are you hiding something from me?"

"No. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Will!"

"Ok. I just want to make sure."

"Will,I would tell you if I was keeping something secret."

"Then why aren't you going after him?"

"Because...after all,he is a pirate. I can't help that,now can I?"

He shook his head and hugged her. He kissed her on the forehead. "No,I guess not."

"You're hiding something. Aren't you Will?"

"I'm going to go after him."

"Why?"

"Because he's my best friend. Maybe I don't want him to go either."

"Then let me at least come with you."

He shook his head. "No. You have a son to take care of."

"He's gone Will..."

"What?!"

"He's been kidnapped..."

"And you're calm about this?!"

"No. That's why I was wondering why you were hiding something."

"Oh god. Then I have to go find him. Stay here,please..."

"Yes Will. Please bring back our son."

"I will love."

"And Will?"

"Yes love?"

"Please be careful."

"You know I will." He kissed her. "I love you,"and he left the house to go look for Jack and his son.
